the super bowl felt like the only legit sports championship during that year, from a fans perspective

although ill be honest the nba bubble was awesome to watch

Damn you needs go touch grass

Mickey Mouse ring but he won it fair&square

NBA counts it in its history

People rarely mention lockout seasons as asterisks like they used to, we’ll see how time remembers pandemic playoffs.

Regardless, they provided us with entertainment during a difficult time while we were stuck inside so I’m grateful

it was harder on the players not easier

oh brother

I respect your point in a technical sense it’s completely valid anasterisk is fair If someone wants to go there, but not “does it count?” once you’re there you’re there, conditions were unique fs but the same for every team

Literally everyone in the bubble has said it was by far the hardest ring to win in recent memory and but dweebs who have never picked up a basketball in their life still act like it doesnt count

Lakers were by far the best team in that 2019-2020 season as well so even if there wasn't a bubble they likely wouldve won it too

Ball was literally life. No strip clubs or jet lag. Seemed tough on the players. It's only less legit because it's different imo. It's an outlier

real ballers (like myself) say the ring doesn’t count

now what

Literally everyone playing at peak levels cuz that was the only thing they could do. How it don’t count

Conditions were the same for everyone

Harden will never win a ring

neither will KD

Yup you know ball

Curry only has 1 ring as well

hold up

y does he have 1 ring

2015: no kyrie and love

2017-18: fraudulent rings

2022: easily beat jaychoke tatum

As someone neutral on Lebron who used to defend him, I feel dumb when he makes himself look like an ass tbh. The hate might be at an all time high but at this point I can’t even pretend like he isn’t inviting it

They did the in season tournament because no one gives a s*** about basketball while football seasons on

Yeah apparently them being the best before the bubble ever happened never matters either
